Architects: Morris-Nunn and Associates (1997); Regeneration by Woods Bagot (2022-ongoing); Builder: Hansen Yuncken

Woods Bagot with Hansen Yuncken is sympathetically regenerating the existing structure, restoring Morris-Nunn and Associates’ original building and distinctive 22-meter diameter glass dome, reinstating the native urban forest that once stood beneath it. With the addition of new buildings and modern insertions, the design team is activating the historic building and transforming it into a dynamic learning hub for the University of Tasmania.

Open House is an annual architecture program that opens some of Tasmania’s most unique buildings to the public, including private homes and historic buildings across lutruwita Tasmania. We acknowledge that Open House takes place on the land of the traditional owners of lutruwita (Tasmania) and pay respects to the palawa people, Tasmanian Aboriginal Community and to Elders - past, present and emerging.
